The Dafangying Reservoir was fenced off.

This is the news that Zhang Tan told him when he returned to his hometown and was about to go fishing. In recent years, Hehuai has begun to clean up the city's water supply, and several drinking water source reservoirs have been isolated to prevent pollution.

"Forget it, I'll play chess with my grandfather." Zhang Tan let go of his fishing thoughts and was ready to stay in his hometown and accompany his grandfather more.

Zhang Henong's later life, except for the fact that his grandmother is no longer around, everything is fine.

Last year, I was still in good health, and every day I would walk to the old cadres activity room in the town, and drink tea and play chess with a few familiar old men. This year, his health has gradually deteriorated, and Zhang Tan's family has spent a lot of money on various physical examinations and health care for Zhang Henong, but the improvement is not great, and his complexion is getting darker and darker.

Part of the reason why Zhang Tan went to the summer vacation was because he wanted to spend more time with his grandfather.

Life and death are fateful, and wealth is in the sky.

He almost knew in his heart that his grandfather's limit was approaching, and his grandfather went at the end of 08 in his previous life. Zhang Tan is a little sad, but not sad, life is rare for seventy years, grandpa is about to run eighty, his children are healthy, his children and grandchildren are full, and he will not have many regrets when he leaves.

Putting aside the rural saying, this is joy and mourning, happiness and longevity, and peace when leaving.

"Yangyang, look at how Grandpa's handwriting is." When he was at home, in addition to reading newspapers, Zhang Henong's favorite thing was to write calligraphy, which seemed to be cultured.

Zhang Henong has always wanted to build the old Zhang family into a scholarly family, and the only pride at present is that Zhang Tan is such a great writer.

Zhang Tan looked at the big characters in the regular script on the newspaper "The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying", full of muscles and muscles, obviously grandpa's skills are getting deeper and deeper: "Good words." Yan muscles and willow bones are nothing more than this. ”

"Hey, Yan Muscle and Willow Bone are too praised. It's just a little similar. "Zhang Henong is modest in his mouth, but he is actually proud." Do you know what is the allusion to this sentence I wrote? ”

Zhang Tan said with a smile: "Liu Bang leveled the whale cloth, passed by his hometown Pei County when he went back, drank with some fellow villagers, and sang the "Song of the Great Wind" - the wind is blowing and the clouds are flying, Weijia is returning to his hometown, and the warriors are guarding the Quartet. ”

"There's another allusion." Zhang Henong sold it, "Do you know? ”

Zhang Tan knew, but shook his head: "I don't know." ”

Zhang Henong squinted his eyes. looked at Zhang Tan and said: "When your mother was pregnant, you delivered the baby in the town health center, and at that time you were a little bit big, wrinkled, I think you will have a chance." Your father asked me to give a name, I didn't think about it for a while, when I went back, there was a sudden gust of wind on the road, and I thought of Liu Bang's "Song of the Great Wind" at that time. ”

Zhang Tan answered: "Later, grandpa, you named me Zhang Yang." Uncle They all felt that the name was too 'flamboyant', and later changed it to Zhang Tan, and his nickname was Yang Yang. ”

"Yes, that's how it came about. Now it seems. I'm still very prescient, and I grew up knowing that you would be promising. Zhang Henong lay down in the rocking chair. Holding an enamel teacup, he said leisurely. "On both sides of the Huai River, there are outstanding people. Lao Tzu, Confucius, Zhuangzi, Mozi, Liu Bang, Xiang Yu, Cao Cao, Zhu Yuanzhang, and ****** all grew up eating the water of the Huai River, and so did you, and now you are also a celebrity. ”

"Grandpa, strictly speaking, the water we eat is the water of the Yangtze River basin, isn't the main canal of the Chuhe River here in Gangji, the main canal of the Chuhe River leads to the Sili River, the Sili River leads to the Nanqi River, the Nanqi River turns to the Chuhe River, and the Chuhe River flows into the Yangtze River."

"You only know one but you don't know the other, the main canal of the Chuhe River communicates the two rivers of the East River and the South River, the East River leads to the Huai River, and the South River leads to the Yangtze River. Zhang Henong said, and remembered the past.

Historically, the Yellow River is a very ferocious river, several times to take the farewell river, to the north to seize the Daqing River, to the south to seize the Huai River several times, a large amount of silt river sand, the Huai River estuary has been blocked, resulting in the Huai River has no estuary, in a sense become a tributary of the Yangtze River.

In this way, the Huai River, which "walks thousands of miles and is not as good as the banks of the Huai River", has become a harmful river, and the entire Huai River basin is usually short of water and drought, and floods when it rains a lot.

As a result, a large number of people in northern Anhui fled from the famine, and many of them went to Chenghai and other places, and they couldn't get along, so they could only do some rough work, and they became the object of dislike of the people of Pinghai.

At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, in order to control the Huai River, the state spent great efforts to build the Weishi Hangzhou Irrigation District.

Zhang Henong participated in the construction of the main canal of the Chuhe River at the beginning, and Zhang Tan's parents also participated, digging and carrying soil on the river embankment to earn labor. It was really interesting to listen to my grandfather talk about the past of those years.

At the moment, there are two grandchildren, and the gods of Tiannanhaibei are all connected.

Keep talking until you eat.

……

I didn't stay in the countryside for a few days, Zhang Tan still had work to do after all, and the film crew of "A Bite of China" would send a large amount of material every week, hand it over to Zhang Tan to edit, and arrange some post-picture processing.

After staying in Heshu for more than half a month, Zhang Tan and Susa went to Jinhua City and stayed with Susa's parents for more than a week.

Then the parents of the two families, Zhang Tan's grandfather, grandparents, and Susa's grandparents, were all taken to Beiya, without him, to watch the Olympics.

Zhang Tan has several villas in Beiya, which is enough for two families to live.

The Olympic Games opened at 8 o'clock in the evening on August 8, 2008, and the Zhang and Su families sat in the Bird's Nest Stadium to watch the wonderful opening ceremony.

The opening ceremony was directed by the fifth-generation famous director Zhang Chao across the border, and the program directed by him was no worse than that directed by Zhang Yimou in his previous life, and there is always no shortage of capable people in China.

At the end of the opening ceremony, Wang Xilong, a famous Chinese musician and singer, and Sarah Brightman, a famous British female singer, sang the theme song "Me and You" of the Beijing Olympic Games.

Not bad.

is "Me and You" created by Zhang Tan, the two worlds seem to overlap at this moment, and the Olympic Organizing Committee still uses "Me and You" as the theme song.

"Zhang Tan, it's really a song you wrote, and it became the theme song!" Susa was thrilled.

Zhang Tan scratched his neck, but he actually regretted it in his heart: "I shouldn't have created this song, hey, it is estimated that this song will become a shortcoming of this Olympic Games." ”

This is purely cheap and good.

To be affirmed by the Olympic Organizing Committee, "Me and You" naturally has advantages that other songs can't match, and the appeal for peace well conveys the voice that China needs to make to the outside world at present.

The Olympics are not just a sports meeting, they are also part of politics.

……

It's a crazy August, and all eyes are on the Olympic Games.

In the end, after fierce competition, the Chinese team became the biggest winner of this Olympic Games with a total of 51 gold medals, surpassing the American team with 36 gold medals. This is also the first time that the Chinese team has topped the Olympic gold medal list, and the only difference is that the total number of medals still failed to surpass the United States.

Subsequently, the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee announced the financial results of the Olympic Games, with an expenditure of 19.343 billion yuan, an income of 20.5 billion yuan, and a balance of more than 1 billion yuan.

It may not be much to make money, but with one Olympic Games, the world's attention has been focused on Beiqi and China, and the world has re-acquainted with China. This is excellent and has greatly enhanced China's international influence and social cohesion.

The North Olympics ended on August 24, but its impact will be felt for a long time to benefit China.

In the past month, Zhang Tan has not been watching the Olympics all day, and his work has also made great progress.

"A Bite of China", after more than half a year of filming, a total of 12 episodes, most of the footage was filmed. Zhang Tan has already started editing materials, and is expected to complete all the material editing and post-production of "A Bite of China" in October. (To be continued.) )
